borich Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Just want to say a big thanks for all the help and advise from the guys at John Forsey Guns at Welling. I went in Thursday and took out a aya yeoman 28" o/u for 72 hours and after shooting 70 clay's with it on Friday and more today I decided to take it! As it was my first gun they took time running through types of ammo recoil pads etc. I walked away with the aya yeoman 28" o/u for £295 and 500 rounds. I fear though that the 500 rounds wont last me long... I also found JJ shoot at Bean very friendly and nice setup. I was hitting on average of 5 out of 10 clay's which I thought I was ok. However the rabbit clay I didn't have any luck on but that will come with practice. Borich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borich Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm loving it! Only thing i need now is a decent recoil pad fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) If your shooting well with it dont extend the pad. Whats wrong with the existing pad on it? The Yeoman is a solid built gun, I had one as MY first gun many moons ago. Multi choked and did well with it. I swapped it for a Norsveada camo jacket but wished I hadn't.

Hazza Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 You can't beat the feeling of your first outing with your own gun. I was up at JJ's today and found the Rabbit trap just as challenging. Hazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borich Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I wasn't getting giving it enough leave I think. Trap no.3 was pretty easy at JJs on Saturday though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynny Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I had the same aya as my first 12 gauge( I had an invest arm 20g before it)I only sold it last year and wished I still had it, a workhorse and bullet proof, in 15years of ownership I only ever had a new firing pin put in the bottom barrel, Atb and enjoy it mate, Flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
